Yours to invent
A renewal saved, a hazard spotted and reported, a guide delivered, a sign in the yard — if it matters to your company, it can carry a reward.
If you can describe it, you can put a spiff on it.
Door hangers, captured leads, and email opt-ins are built into LeadSpiff. Custom spiffs are the rest of your list: any action you want your technicians doing more of — defined by you, proven with a photo or a note, and paid only when you approve it. Here is what owners reward. Steal the ideas that fit your trade.
Pay for effort, not promises
A spiff never pays for a promise from a technician to take an action. It rewards the actual action — actions that are tracked and verified. And the best actions share a shape: something physical, left in the exact spot a customer looks at the moment they need you — a panel, a shut-off box, an equipment pad. The job ends in an hour; the sticker works for years.
Proof before money
Every submission carries the proof you asked for — a photo, a note, a name, a number — and lands in your review queue. Nothing counts until you approve it.
No platform cut
Custom spiffs are 100% yours: LeadSpiff’s $3 charge applies only to approved leads and verified email opt-ins, never to your own spiffs.
Custom spiff ideas, by trade
Every one of these is a five-minute setup. The reward amounts are yours to set — start small and let the results argue for more.
Electricians
Reward technicians for placing a branded sticker inside the electrical panel. When a customer has an issue with their electricity, the first place they check is the panel — make sure they find your business when they open it.
Plumbers
Reward technicians for placing a branded sticker inside the water shut-off box and beneath the kitchen sink — the two doors that fly open first when a leak starts.
Roofers
Reward your technicians for leaving a storm and insurance guide with the neighbors of existing customers. When the next storm hits, your company is the one that already explained what to do.
Pest Control
Reward technicians for placing a branded service sticker beside the water heater, and for leaving neighbors a pest-of-the-season tip card. When the ants show up, your card is already in their hand.
HVAC
Reward technicians for placing a branded sticker on the furnace or air handler, service date written in. On the coldest night of the year, that is the first surface the homeowner sees.
Garage Doors
Reward technicians for placing a branded sticker on the inside of the garage door or on the opener motor. When a spring snaps, the customer is standing right there, staring at it.
Pool Service
Reward technicians for placing a branded sticker on the pool equipment pad or timer box — the first place a homeowner checks when the water turns green.
Painters
Reward technicians for leaving a branded “colors in this home” card in the utility drawer, listing the exact paints used. The repaint in three years starts with whoever left the card.
Lawn & Landscaping
Reward technicians for getting a small branded yard sign placed during a service visit. “Maintained by you” turns one finished job into a street-level ad.
House Cleaning
Reward technicians for leaving a referral card and a fridge magnet at every cleaning. The magnet is in front of the customer three times a day, every day.
Appliance Repair
Reward technicians for placing a branded sticker inside the laundry room cabinet or on the water heater — the utility spots every homeowner opens eventually.
How a custom spiff runs
You create it in Settings. Name the action, set the reward, and choose what the technician must capture — a photo, a note or a link, fields like a name, a phone number, or an amount — and which of those are required. Set a weekly limit per technician, or none.
It appears in the app. Your spiff sits beside the built-in actions, marked with a star, ready on the next sprint.
The technician submits proof. During a sprint they file the action with its proof — timestamped and geo-tagged like everything else — and it lands in your review queue.
You approve, it pays. Approved spiffs flow into the same rewards ledger as the built-in actions, and your company pays your technicians through your own payroll. LeadSpiff tracks the money — it never touches it.
Actions that get rewarded get repeated. Start with one spiff your best technician already does, and watch the rest of the team pick it up.
